Trump's Trade War With China was a Disaster! Remember the Farmer Bailout Checks? Nowadays, Farmers Can Earn a Living by Growing Crops! Thank YOU, Joe Biden!
Trump's Trade War Harmed American Consumers, American Farmers and American Business But Helped Russian Soy Bean Farmers!
‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back...
The president was already spending double his predecessor to spare farmers the cost of his trade war. Now the price is reaching unsustainable levels.
Despite Trump’s claim that “trade wars are good, and easy to win,” the ultimate results of the phase one trade deal between China and the United States — and the trade war that preceded it — have significantly hurt the American economy without solving the underlying economic concerns that the trade war was meant to resolve.
Trump's trade war on China was a failure in every possible way...
What really happened: "The trade war with China hurt the US economy and failed to achieve major policy goals," a recent study commissioned by the U.S.-China Business Council argues, finding that the trade war reduced economic growth and cost the U.S. 245,000 jobs.
Trump's Not Just a Loser, He' a MAGALOSER! (Oh No! Not a Metric Joke!) In Fact, Hillary Got More Votes, Joe Got More Votes and in 2024... HE'S Already Saying The Election Was Rigged!
They've been brainwashed with fear. Fear is a powerful drug. It penetrates the deepest parts of their brains. "Do you want your grandchildren to be black?" It grips their amygdala, the seat of instinct and fear of death. "They're sub-human; they will kill you." They tap into this deep realm of terror. "You're going to lose everything you've ever worked for." "They murdered your savior." "Do you want English replaced by Spanish? Jesus replaced by Allah?" "They're going to rape your wives and impregnate your daughters." "You will become irrelevant. Erased. Like you never existed." "Jews will not replace us." "They don't believe in God; not our God." "They are an abomination." "Your children will burn in hell." "Only I can save you."
Will the Corrupt Supreme Court Rule that CRIME IS LEGAL for Trump? Question: Would Total Presidential Immunity Allow Biden to Murder Trump LEGALLY?
Remember: The Reason Ford Pardoned Nixon was to Prevent Nixon's Arrest for Crimes Committed While President.
Throughout history the laws of physics have been considered perfect and eternal, but the more deeply physicists and cosmologists delve, the more they discover how messy it is. Universes simulated using computers are not created by perfect omnipotent beings, rather by imperfect people with kids and mortgages just trying to figure stuff out. Many of today’s hard-core, cutting edge scientists—including Alan Guth, the creator of inflationary theory—acknowledge that it might be possible to create a universe in the laboratory that would pinch off into its own space-time, and that this universe we find ourselves living in might be such a simulation. It might be a bunch of guys futzing around. If there is a master awareness to all this, it might turn out to be more like a Gary Larsen kid poking an anthill with a stick to see what happens.

Don't you just hate when
You compose a good haiku
And the last line comes out too long
I refuse to play by the rules... However... one time we were Camping in the Santa Cruz Mountains High on LSD and One Guy read a Haiku Out Loud... and POW! SHAZZAM! A Tsunami of Meaning Washed over us...
I'm Glad Someone Wrote Them...
As I was thinking of some of my favorite anagrams, I remembered one of my fav's for old Spiro Agnew. So if you take all the letters from his name and rearrange them you come up with Grow a Penis.
Agnew’s downfall began in the summer of 1973, when he was investigated in connection with accusations of extortion, bribery, and income-tax violations relating chiefly to his tenure as governor of Maryland. Faced with federal indictments, Agnew fought the charges, arguing that the allegations were false, that a sitting vice president could not be indicted, and that the only way he could be removed from office was by impeachment. After the solicitor general released a brief asserting that sitting vice presidents could be indicted, Agnew launched an attack on the administration and vowed not to resign. With Nixon in danger of impeachment for his role in the Watergate scandal, the administration sought to remove Agnew from the presidential line of succession, and secret plea bargaining took place between Agnew’s lawyers and a federal judge. Agnew resigned the vice presidency on October 10, 1973, and appeared in United States District Court in Baltimore on the same day to plead nolo contendere to a single federal count of failing to report on his income-tax return $29,500 in income that he had received in 1967, while governor of Maryland. Acknowledging that the plea amounted to a felony conviction, Agnew declared that he had resigned in the national interest. He was fined $10,000 and sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation.
Trump’s Magic Time Machine Doomed to Fail Again...
When President Ronald Reagan first spoke the words “Let’s Make America Great Again” He Implied that there was a time in the Past when America was Great… and we ought to return to that time… WHEN was That? the 1950s? The 1850s? 1776? 1066? 3,000 BC ?
I believe that Both Ronald Reagan and Copycat Donald Trump Feel that America in the 1950s was That Time!
Before Women’ Lib… Before Civil Rights… Before Gay Rights… Before Hippies! It was a time when Americans DID WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO… and It was a Time When FRED TRUMP could FIX any Problems Donald Got Into…
I feel America was Greatest in 1969…
We went to the Moon, Danced at Woodstock, Rioted at Stonewall… and Most Importantly… We WOKE THE F*CK UP!
The Brainwashing of the 1950s was Repealed by the ACID of the Sixties… “Think for Yourself and Question Authority”
Remember: Trump Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law… HJ RES 40… and now we have Madmen Committing Murder again and again and again… the Laws are Tragic… Insane!
Who was the Worst President Ever? Donald John Trump. Remember these FACTS:
Over 1 Million Americans Died from Coronavirus. The Stock Market Had the Largest Loss of Money in History. Massive Harm to American Farmers and Consumers Caused by Trade War With China. Trump's Unemployment High 14.7% Biden = 3.4%. Huge Lines of Cars at Free Food Giveaways. Massive Increase in Homelessness...
Trump Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law... HJ RES 40...

Amid warnings from public health officials that a 2020 outbreak of a new coronavirus could soon become a pandemic involving the U.S., alarmed readers asked Snopes to verify a rumor that U.S. President Donald Trump had "fired the entire pandemic response team two years ago and then didn't replace them."
On Monday the Dow Jones dropped more than 1,800 points at the open while the S&P 500 fell more than 7%, a massive sell-off that triggered a circuit breaker and halted trading for 15 minutes.
Stocks plummeted once again on Thursday after President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve both failed to quell concerns over the economic slowdown stemming from the coronavirus, leading to a historic drop for the U.S. markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 2,352.60 points lower, or 9.99%, at 21,200.62. The index had its worst drop since the 1987 “Black Monday” market crash, when it collapsed by more than 22%.The S&P 500 plummeted 9.5% to 2,480.64, joining the Dow in a bear market. The S&P 500 also had its worst day since 1987. The Nasdaq Composite closed 9.4% lower at 7,201.80.
A six year old can get their hands on a gun, go to school, show it around and talk about using it, and then does. Meanwhile, there are dozens of books that this child can't get his hands on, because said books are dangerous. This is where we find ourselves???? Why do I get the feeling that this radical condemnation of certain books is mostly coming from people that scream about their 2nd amendment rights?
They are Frightened by BOOKS Because they CAN'T READ.
How is he not the WORST liar in history? He used to BRAG about sleeping with porn stars, and then illegally had his lawyer pay her off and then claim it was a campaign contribution? He’s about to be indicted for this primarily because he likes to rub peoples faces in his life of crime that he’s never been held accountable for. Every time he opens his mouth he digs himself a deeper hole.
The complicated thing about polarization is that you can’t always just say you’re both right or you’re both wrong, both of you stop arguing you’re giving me a headache. That’s a cop out. More often then not, one side of the argument or debate is in fact wrong or immoral, but intimidating.
So much so, that nice ways of agreeing to disagree are lost. At the opposite extreme, they plot violence against each other, but those predisposed to bigotry & toxic mal agendas in the first place will also be the ones more prepared for a violent confrontation. The only way to progress is to kindly show them a better way. However long it takes.
Ron DeSantis' crusade against higher education can now claim the College Board as one of its victims.
After the Florida governor banned the AP African American studies course, prompting widespread outcry from Black leaders, teachers, and education advocates around the country, the College Board, the main body that administers tests for the courses, on Wednesday released a new curriculum that no longer includes material DeSantis had objected to. My colleague Pema Levy said it best: Welcome to Black History Month.
For its part, the College Board claims that it did not cave to DeSantis' complaints, insisting instead that it discovered some students struggling with the "dense" new material. But that's difficult to believe, considering these changes:
DeSantis hasn't indicated yet whether he'll accept the revised AP course now that it's been stripped of what the Florida Education commissioner called a "woke indoctrination masquerading as education." But whatever happens in Florida, it's hard to see how other Republicans won't be encouraged by the College Board's move to apparently kowtow to such culture war posturing—particularly those hoping to out-douche DeSantis and Donald Trump for the GOP nomination. Scary times, folks.
I never thought GOP would ban abortion and overturn Roe v Wade. Polls consistently show these to be unpopular policies except among Evangelicals.
To my surprise, GOP overturned Roe v Wade. They used a side door to make this dramatic move by denying Supreme Court nominations from Democratic President(s) and fast-tracking nominations from GOP presidents. The result was a packing of Supreme Court with right-wing evangelicals. Once GOP achieved a super-majority, they almost immediately overturned Roe v Wade, a half-century long guarantee to right of abortion. Consequently, GOP legislatures in state after state have restricted right to abortion if not banned abortion outright.
The American public, largely in favor of abortion rights, is faced with a generational problem, perhaps multi-generational. The judges appointed by GOP presidents and approved by GOP Senators, are mostly young and not likely to change their positions for the decades that they will occupy the Supreme Court bench.
I honestly don't know how to resolve this problem in short term, but it's important for citizens to make their opinions known at the voting booth. Even Supreme Court justices monitor voting patterns.
[CHANT] Hey, Hey, NRA, How many kids did you kill today? [CHANT]
NRA chief calls for more guns at school. Arming teachers. Well, that wouldn't have done anything to prevent the Las Vegas Mass Murder... AND... The Florida High school Murderer was wearing full body armor and a helmet... Teachers with pistols would have had no chance to out gun an teenager with an Assault Rifle. AND... Reality shows that the more guns we have the more likely hood of gun accidents... Suicides... and what if an Armed Teacher "Goes Postal" and shoots up students and other teachers? Who will pay for all these new guns? We already can't afford to buy basic school supplies like chalk and books... Who will pay for Gun Training? The real solution is LESS GUNS... OUTLAW Assault Rifles and Raise gun ownership age to 21 and increase background checks.
Remember, President Trump signed a Law that makes it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns. People that are getting a Social Security Disability Check for Mental Illness would be allowed to pass background checks. That's what Trump's ACTIONS have been... The exact opposite of his words...
I've got the TV News on... and Once Again, Those People Over There are Behaving Crazy! Thankfully They are Way Far Away... Around Here, Life is Pretty Good... I Keep on Telling Those People Over There to STOP BEHAVING CRAZY... YOU ARE RUINING YOUR OWN LIFE! but they never listen... and so their lives continue to be a disaster...
Did You Notice that the GOP/QAnon House of Representatives REFUSE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT? They are Taking ZERO Action that will benefit the People of the USA... All Efforts are to Destroy... Revenge... and Their #1 Priority: MAKE CRIME LEGAL FOR TRUMP...
They have Started an Attack on the FBI & the DOJ... WHY? Because those Organizations are Bothering Criminals Like Donald Trump... and The REST of the Corrupt Republican Party... SO MANY have already been Arrested and Found Guilty... The Solution? Lock 'em UP!
We are Going to Need a LOT More Prison Cells for the Republicans that are Planning to Start a Civil War... Let's FREE All the Cannabis Prisoners so there are empty Jail Cells to Corrupt Politicians and their QUACK ANON Followers...
Trump's Frivolous Lawsuit Fine Was $937,989.39 - Trump undermined "the rule of law" with a string of lawsuits filed to air political grievances. And Then Trump voluntarily dropped a lawsuit against New York State Attorney General Letitia James... SEE? PUNISHMENT WORKS!
We all have a job to do now. This is the easy part, the harder parts come later.
Right now, we need to get all of the Democrats on the same page. There is about thirty percent of the population we will never be able to reach. They are so caught up in their hatefulness that they will follow anyone who gives them a license to be that way.
That leaves about 70%, but that is not what we need to be concerned with right now. If we can find unity among Democrats and those that are left leaning, that is where we start.
Joe showed us the way tonight. I call him Joe, not out of disrespect, but because he is one of us. He has been underestimated for his entire career. But that ends today.
Last night, the most common comment among the experts was “unbelievable”. They compared Joe with Clinton in 1996. For those of you too young to remember that speech, the Republicans had tried to take down Bill in every way they could.
That year, he was up for re-election. Bob Dole was a good man. Conservative but fair minded. (In more ways than one, one could compare him to John McCain. They were the last of a dying breed.). When you look at many of Bill’s speeches, he was a first rate orator. In that year, he made the speech commonly called, “The end of big government”, establishing himself as a moderate and disarming any arguments that the well thought of Dole could make. The charges that they impeached him for years later were already fermenting. But by making himself the “Everyman” candidate, he united the party and won easily.
Clinton’s eloquence was never in doubt. But that State of the Union changed the course of the election.
Like Bill, the right viciously critisizes Joe. With his decades in government, nothing they have thrown at him sticks. Biden made it through the primaries and the last two years by keeping his nose to the grindstone, acting like a decent human being, and using every ounce of his experience to make sometimes novel but almost always successful policy decisions that took the devastation Trump had left behind, and healed our many wounds (and those of the world) more quickly than anyone had the right to expect.
Economists have called his policies miraculous (see Robert Reich last week), and the economy has made steady progress every month. Even with a plate full of catastrophes never seen since WWII, he took each in stride and plowed on. Covid was a pandemic that hit our country in many different ways. Biden picked up the failed Trump policies (Trump gets credit for pushing to finish the vaccine but did little to see it through). No one could have predicted Putin’s War, but Biden had the skills to handle it. Can you image any other President handling it better?
I realize I am addressing the converted, but all of this brings us to the problem at hand. And how to solve it.
In tonight's State of the Union, Biden shared the credit for his accomplishments with a large number of people, blue and red That is who he is, but it also leads to our dilemma. After Trump claiming credit for the sky being blue, in contrast, Biden’s modesty prevented the public from giving him credit.
We can make lists of the accomplishments under his belt, but with a public ignorant of how government works, all people know is that they are hurting, and need someone to blame. The one thing the Republicans made stick was in regards to Biden’s demeanor, which stuck because there was some
Biden Is older than we would like (although the right doesn't see the hypocrisy that so is Trump). Obama once admitted during a crisis to how sleep deprived he was. Joe has been looking very tired, although justifiably so.
But last night was a new Biden. Clear eyed, he not only stuck to his script, but seemed to be enjoying engaging the hecklers. He was astonishing!
Watching last night's speech should be mandatory for everyone on the left. Barring being able to tie people down to watch the entire 80 minutes, last night I shared a chunk of it that was the best of the best.
If liberals stand together, the nuisance agenda of the right will die a quiet death. Only the 30% MAGAs will hear it. The GQP's greatest strength has always been their unity. If we cannot imitative that one faction of their being, we shoot ourselves in the foot.
So what is the task before us? We need to put our own agendas to the side for now for the sake of the greater good. For now, the best use of our time would be to be firm when Dems lose sight of the agenda. Stand up and be heard! The little guys and pundits alike. Share lists of Joe’s accomplishments (I will post some memes) and use clips of the SOTU to put forth your points. AOC appeared with Rachel tonight and she obviously (if reluctantly) stuck to the agenda. Joe has made every effort to promote the progressive agenda, but we will have to hold their feet to the fire, as we cannot afford another 2016.
That is all for now. Sounds easy, right? (Of course it isn't.) But if we can borrow this one worthwhile trait of the Republicans, tonight Joe gave us every tool we need for success.
